Research - Vladimir Propp

Who was Vladimir Propp? Find out who he was and apply his theory to music video you have seen.

Vladimir Propp was a Russian man who analysed the basic plot components of Russian folk tales to identify their simplest irreducible narrative elements. His passion for happy endings meant that they became quite predictable. His theory helped to explained the different narrative stages of these fairy tales and how they follow a similar structure throughout other fairy tales.

I have chosen Beyonce - Irreplaceable. This song is about love, romance and break-ups, this is reflected through the music video. This video is relevant to Vladimir theory because he talks about love and romance.
